" It happened at 9:25 PM, eh? Just as I thought, a great time to be walking in a traffic lane. No visibility, and I suspect the victim wasn't wearing reflective clothing. As I said yesterday, the man is lucky he was not flattened.

" Why is everyone hating on the cops? Sounds like this guy was walking down the middle of the road and is very fortunate to be alive? This is way different than if an officer has someone stopped along the side of the road and gets hit when he has his warning lights and etc on. This is a person (could have been a cop or the president, does not matter) who was walking down the middle of the road in the dark...LUCKY TO BE ALIVE! Lucky that the officer swerved to avoid instead of anything else that could have happened. "

" If the roles were reversed; i.e. A person clipped a Deputy with his/her car. They would be in jail right now. "

" If you read the article it says he made an attempt to miss him which means he wasn't inattentively driving. Maybe the walker was inattentively walking. "

" Ladybug-Not everyone involved in an accident is ticketed for something. If the officer is not at fault he can't be ticketed for something like inattentive driving. It very well could have been the pedestrian's fault. We don't know all the facts. "

" The location this guy was hit was very near a bar, I wonder if alcohol was a factor (i.e. staggering drunk). "

" Did this deputy get charged with anything? Anyone else would have been charged with inattentive driving or worse. "
